Colourful archways will help create a focal point for your ceremony or reception. These look stunning in photographs and can be a fun way of incorporating your theme. Add a touch of gold to your tables, flowers and stationery to create a luxurious look. It’s also worth using lots of different flowers in your centrepieces and bouquet but in the same colours. Mixing lower-cost options with more expensive versions like orchids can help reduce the overall price. Getty Images Getty Images Al fresco weddings lend themselves beautifully to neutral flowers. Everyone is loving pampas at the moment, and the tones and textures will add depth to any design. Getty Images STYLED TO PERFECTION When it comes to decorating your wedding venue, the options are endless. Whether you want to incorporate your favourite colour, a particular theme or showcase your personality, there’s a lot you need to take into consideration. To help, the team here at Your East Anglian Wedding have put together some ideas to help you style your al fresco nuptials. If you want to be eco-conscious, do your research. Plan a vegetarian or vegan menu, purchase bio-degradable confetti, use public transport where possible and consider sustainable favours. It’s also worth asking your venue what their green policy is and finding out if they recycle or grow their own produce. Getty Images Outdoor props such as sofas, benches and carpets can be rented to add an outside feel to your venue. Barrels will also fit beautifully with the al fresco theme and provide a place to pop your drink down. Getty Images Wooden palettes and signs are perfect for directing your guests. They also look great as table plans or order-of-the-days. Getty Images Getty Images Help the bees by giving your guests packets of seeds as wedding favours or a plant to take home to add to their garden. 71 OUTDOOR WEDDINGS
